The RUPES BigFoot iBrid Mini HSR73 is a cordless 5-inch random orbital sander built for fine finishing work. Its 2mm orbit and five electronic speeds from 7,000 to 11,000 RPM suit blending, polishing and light sanding rather than heavy stock removal. What sets it apart is the self-generating vacuum: a built-in fan pulls dust into a Green Tech filter, so you don't need a separate extractor. It also runs on two 18V batteries or plugged in, which most compact cordless sanders don't offer. At 2.2 lb it is light and easy to hold in different grips, and owners of the iBrid line tend to praise its balance and dust control.

Owners of the iBrid Mini line describe it as a smooth, well-balanced finishing sander whose built-in dust collection removes the need for a hose. Most praise the light weight and control at low speeds. The main complaints are the small orbit limiting heavy work and the filter needing frequent attention.
The RUPES BigFoot iBrid Mini Flex HSR73 is a compact random orbital sander with a 5" (125mm) multi-hole backing pad. It has a 2mm (5/64") orbit for fine finishes. It uses iBrid dual-power technology, so it runs on battery or plugged in.
A self-generating vacuum system collects dust, so no external dust extractor is needed. A Green Tech filter is included. Five electronic speeds range from 7,000 to 11,000 RPM.
The rubberized variable-speed throttle lever shuts the sander off automatically if it is dropped or released. The multi-grip design is ergonomic, and the sander weighs 2.2 lb (1.0 kg).
